"Of course I dare not say anything, but His Highness has already admitted that he sent people into the house to threaten him beforehand, and then brought soldiers in afterwards. The people in the Shen family were in panic that day, which was witnessed by the people of Yingtian. If His Highness hadn't come to Shen's house to How could such a tragic situation happen to our family?"
"Some people have even seen His Highness constructing large-scale construction projects in the Imperial Mansion at the foot of Bifeng Mountain. All the craftsmen used are members of the Shen family. How could His Highness hire so many Shen family craftsmen at such a young age? If he hadn't been suppressed by his status as a prince, he would have always valued profits. How can a businessman be willing to build a building for His Highness?”
"Your Majesty, Your Highness's poetic talent is astonishing. A Linjiang Immortal has opened up the civilization of our Ming Dynasty and will surely go down in history. Since you have such talent, you should be taught strictly. If your virtue is not worthy of your talents, won't you make our Ming Dynasty a laughing stock for future generations?"
"Your Majesty, don't pamper me too much. Don't let His Highness King Wu become Zhongyong of my Ming Dynasty!"
Ru Taisu spoke sternly, without looking at Zhu Su but directly facing Lao Zhu, with a serious and thoughtful tone for Zhu Su's sake. Lao Zhu looked at him with a gloomy face and could not deny it, but Zhu Su was angry with him. It's quite annoying.
"The king and the Shen family cooperated. Is this how Ru Yushi judged the case? According to you, the Shen family was harmed by me, but you concluded that I coerced them without even asking them a question? Humph, Isn't it a bit inappropriate for this king to have the authority of Lord Ru? I don't even ask the suffering owner, and I don't find out the facts. If all the officials of Ming Dynasty were like you, how many injustices would there be in this world? Wrong case!"
Zhu Su stood tall and tall, with a stern look on his face that was ridiculed. When Zhu Su criticized Ru Taisu's ability as an official, Ru Taisu's face turned pale.
"I am the censor, and I have heard that the report is the right given by your majesty. Furthermore, if the Shen family had not been threatened, how could An Neng be able to do this thankless task?"
"Your Highness is a member of the royal family. Even if the Shen family has been wronged, they will definitely not dare to risk provoking His Highness and expose it to you. What's the point of summoning him to ask or not to ask?"
"You said that the Shen family and you are cooperating. Do you have any evidence?" Ru Taisu obviously did not believe Zhu Su's words. Not only Ru Taisu, but also other officials in the court were talking about it. Although Zhu Su is talented and learned, he is just a teenager in his teens. He hasn't even opened a government yet. What kind of capital does he have to cooperate with a wealthy businessman like the Shen family?
Selling poetry?
"Ru Yushi can't even pretend to be an official, but he also understands business?" Zhu Su sneered, and simply mocked him in full aura. "Tell you the details of the cooperation between me and the Shen family? Are you coveting the profits from me and the Shen family? Why don't you ask me to share a piece of the pie with you directly?"
"You..." I thought that Zhu Su was still young and would be too timid to say anything during the first court meeting. How could he have expected that he would speak so sharply and not give him the slightest dignity as a courtier?
He even went so far as to be so arrogant that he used his involvement as an excuse to get a share of the pie... Ru Taisu had been a scholar for many years, and the most important thing was to clear his name. How could An accept such an insult? He couldn't care less that the young man in front of him was just a young man, and shouted sternly: "Your Highness, please be careful! I have been an official for several years and my family has not purchased an acre of land. I have not spared a winter coat for nine consecutive winters. All I want is Confucianism is so righteous. Does An have any reason to covet those yellow and white things?"
"And His Highness is still young and is talking nonsense. How can you confirm what you just said? We all see that Your Highness is amazingly talented in literature, but there is a big difference between business and literature. Is there any truth that both can be connected?"
The implication is that Zhu Su must prove that he knows how to do business, otherwise he will kill Zhu Su and threaten the Shen family.
"Your Majesty! I have a sincere heart, and I hope that Your Highness, the Fifth Highness, will not become like Zhongyong in the Song Dynasty. You must know that spoiling a child is like killing your own son. Your Highness, the Fifth Highness, is still young and has room for improvement. Please ask Your Majesty to judge!" Without waiting for Zhu Su! After speaking, Ru Taisu directly turned the conversation to Lao Zhu and asked Lao Zhu to give an explanation.
"..." He immediately placed the blame on us. Zhu Su rolled his eyes and was speechless. This Ru Taisu is acting like a rogue. If you don't believe me when confronting the Shen family, you want to prove what business knowledge you have. How can I prove that my business hasn’t started yet?
On the throne, Lao Zhu's face was shrouded in shadow, and his expression could not be seen clearly. Ru Taisu bowed to the end, and the scene remained deadlocked for a long time, without waiting for Lao Zhu to make any sound.
"Oh, you have read so many books and understand everything, but why don't you let our Xiaowu understand it?"
After a long time, a voice like old Zhu Hong's bell came from the throne.
"Lao Wu is indeed discussing business with the Shen family. We know this."
"They found a rare object in the village, and Lao Wu planned to let the Shen family sell it. The Shen family saw it and thought it was of great value, so the two could cooperate."
"Jin Yiwei has recorded their conversation for us to see. It is exactly what Lao Wu said. Why, Ru Taisu, if you don't believe that Lao Wu understands business, don't you believe what I said?"
Lao Zhu's voice was as smooth as an ancient well, without any emotion. But the bias in his voice was as obvious as the lice on a monk's head. I could hear the murderous intention to protect Zhu Su in Lao Zhu's words.
Hearing that Lao Zhu started to call "I", Ru Taisu was startled. Just now he could only talk eloquently when facing Zhu Su. Now, under the power of Lao Zhu's light and gigantic form, his forehead was suddenly covered with sweat: " Your Majesty, I dare not!"
Zhu Su was also shocked. Only a few people were present during his conversation with Shen Rong of the Shen family. The content of the conversation was actually sent to Lao Zhu's case by Jin Yiwei?
My Wu Wang guards were all selected from the family members of fallen soldiers. There are also Jin Yiwei among them?
How many months had the Jinyi Guards been established, and it had already reached such a pervasive level?
"The Fifth Highness is cooperating with the Shen family, and I dare not say a word about this matter. But..."
"I still have something to say." Ru Taisu gritted his teeth, but still held his neck and raised his head, which surprised Zhu Su. What kind of grudge do you have against this old man? Why is he so determined to mess with you?
"Although His Majesty the Fifth Highness is engaged in business, he still acts as a merchant with the dignity of a prince. This is harmful to the country!" Ru Taisu said loudly. "It should be noted that the royal family is competing for profits with the people, and this is the beginning of trouble. I would like to ask Your Highness to put aside the order for the fifth prince to cultivate alone in the palace outside the city, and to ask the fifth prince to go to the main hall to study again. As a warning to Zhongyong before, he cultivates his moral character! "
As soon as the three words "Dabentang" came out, Zhu Su's whole body suddenly became excited. The word "fuck" almost came out of his mouth. He looked at Ru Taisu in horror. This guy was so cruel and wanted to push him back into the fire pit of the main hall again!
He is completely confused now. What medicine did this Ru Yushi take wrongly? Wouldn't it be better to let this king live outside the city and live peacefully?
You have no grudges in front of you and no grudges in the back, but you actually want to push me back to the main hall again? Why are you so persistent in messing with me?
